Alkaline earth – rare earth sintering additives for SiC: Reactivity and effectiveness

扫码查看
© 2022 Elsevier B.V.Alkaline earth (AE) nitrates were examined as silicon carbide (SiC) sintering additives for nuclear applications because AE elements are safer than conventional Al-based additives under neutron irradiation. The AE nitrates transformed to oxides during sintering without decomposing SiC, as predicted by thermodynamic simulations. Although a eutectic liquid was formed by the reaction between AE oxides and SiO2, pure AE systems were ineffective, exhibiting the highest density of 77 %. On the other hand, a novel AE-rare earth (RE) system increased the density of SiC to ≥ 95 %, and thus could replace the Al-based additives.
